How do I move multiple files from download?

Hi,
After I download a group of files, I should like to move them all en masse to one folder on my MacBook.  However, it I select all the files (via shift-click) and try to drag them to their new home, the files instead all open up inside their native applications.   Absent any other solution, I have been forced to move each file one at a time from the download folder to their new location, which can get dreadfully tedious.  Is there some way I can move them all in one fell swoop and be done with it?  Thanks for any help you might provide.
Bob

Thank you very much for your help!   
I also subseqeuntly discovered that if I clicked on the tiny magnifying glass in the Download window, the files opened up in another Finder Window, from which I was able to do the combination command-click or shift-click to do the bulk move of the files.
I will try your suggestion of changing the Download destination in preferences the next time I am faced with this; that sounds like that would be even easier!
Best wishes
Bob

  • How do I retrieve multiple files from my trashcan?

    I removed everything from my "finder" to my trashcan; I found that I had multiple duplicates in images, and I thought that was an easy way to get rid of them. But then my iPhoto started acting weird and when I contacted support, was told that I had to "put back" each file. There are roughly 17,000 images. I am overwhelmed to say the least. Suggestions? I tried highlighting several at a time, but that doesn't work.

    Yes, but it puts the files into a .zip file that is "corrupted, encrypted, empty or in an incompatible format".

  • How do I move music files from the startup disc to iTunes in the other internal hard disk os 10.5.8?

    How do I move music files from the startup disc to iTunes in the other internal hard disk os 10.5.8?
    The music I want to move was in iTunes but is now just files. I had to reinstall a new iTunes and lost all my old music.
    Thank you!

    That article is about using your iPod as an external hard drive, to move files from one computer to another computer.  It is not related to your question.
    You can't use iTunes to move song files from iPod to computer, except for songs you purchased from the iTunes Store (and you can also re-download purchases).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can move song files from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the song files are on your current computer, add them to that computer's iTunes library by dragging the files (or folder containing the files) to the iTunes window.  After confirming everything is there (and fixing the data issue you mentioned) you can sync the iPod.  You may want to do a Restore on the iPod, if it might have a data corruption issue, which will erase the iPod's hard drive, re-install the latest software, and set it to defautl settings.

  • How do I move a file from "Recents" in Adobe Reader for Android to a folder in "Documents"?

    How do I move a file from "Recents" in Adobe Reader for Android to a folder in "Documents"?
    Files from Google Drive are appearing in "Recents" where I cannot organize them hierarchically.
    I cannot find a user manual for Adobe Reader for Android with this level of detail.

    Hi John,
    Files opened via Google Drive are not listed in ‘Documents' section of Adobe Reader, because they are read only files. If you really want to save these files to ’Documents' then please follow below steps -
    Open the file from Google drive in Adobe Reader.
    Tap on the Comment icon placed at top toolbar(Second icon from the beginning)
    You would encounter a 'Read-Only document’ dialog, tap on Save button.
    Once you performed above steps , your file will be saved in /Download/Adobe Reader/ folder.
    Hope this will solve your problem.
    Thanks,
    Adobe Reader Team

    How do I move a file from Icloud to my hard drive?

    From the appropriate application (eg, Pages, TextEdit, etc) find your file(s) in iCloud (use File - Open), then highlight (you can multiple-select) the files you want to move, and drag them to your desktop or another Finder location.

    Do a full backup using the organizer's backup command on computer A. Then restore that to computer B.
    EDIT It will probably go smoothest if you use some kind of removable drive for the backup location.

    How do I move my files from my MAcbook to my pc?

    What operating system is the PC running?
    You will need to turn on file sharing on the PC. For Windows XP use methods described here. Windows 7 here.
    Connect to the shared Windows volume by going to the Go menu in the Finder and selecting Connect to Server... In the resulting dialog type smp:// and the IP address of your windows machine. Click Connect and enter your Windows machine's username and password when prompted.
    The Windows share will now appear on your Mac's desktop. Drag the items you want to copy over to it.
    Best of luck.

    How do I move all files from an old PPC to a new Mac Mini?

    The new mini has a Firewire 800 port. Likely the PPC version only has Firewire 400.  The OP will need a converter cable which is why I was asking first about what hardware is available and how much is being copied.
    Probably go with using the external hard drive if you decide all you want are data files.

  • How do I move large files from a Windows computer to my MacBook Pro? There are a lot of photos (tiffs

    How do I move large files from a Windows computer to my MacBook Pro? There are a lot of photos (tiffs, jpgs, some photoshopped files), iTunes library, word docs. Is there a particular type of external hard drive that can be used or am I limited to copying stuff onto z-drive and moving that way?

    If both computers are on the same network, you can share the files from the Windows host using SMB and mount the share on the Mac. Otherwise, the Mac should be able to read (not necessarily write) any storage device formatted in Windows.
